Was she by any chance known as Cordell “Strummer” Jackson?
Stevie Ray Vaughan she ain’t, but any lady who can bash out 12-bar rhythm on an electric guitar, like that, in a pink floral dress with puffy arms, sporting a grany-perm, and NOT be a Grand Ole Opry cliché, and do it into her 90’s, gets much respect here.

And while we’re speaking of rockabilly queens with the surname Jackson, Wanda Jackson just retired from touring a few months ago, also at age 81
